i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!
Chidera Eggerue, 23, used to resent her drooping breasts and dreamed of the day she could get a boob job. Now she is encouraging women to love their bosom buddies – no matter the size or sag.
“For the women who look like me: Your saggy boobs matter. And from now until you die, what’s going to matter, ultimately, is your character. Sometimes people are scared of what they haven’t been taught to accept. We still have to exist loudly, though.”
i was a survivor of the shooting that took place 2/14/18. i am okay, but unfortunately many of my friends are dead or in critical condition. if you have someone you love, please tell them while theyre still here. hug your friends, your families, you never know when something like this will happen. i never expected to see my friends i grew up with interviewed and scared. i never expected to see the bodies of my classmates and i never expected to see my schools name internationally all over the news. keep your loved ones close please, and if you can do anything to help my community, please do so.

Yeah sorry, but no. If you’ve got enough time to spend a ridiculous amount of time spreading hate on the internet and harassing people (don’t come at me with the ‘only asexuals!’ bullshit. Lots of aphobes have harassed mentally ill and trans people as well for no apparent reason, the asexual harassment is a transparent cover-up excuse), you have enough time to working on dealing with your problems on your own. I fail to see how anyone part of a community that has repeatedly attacked several different groups of people is deserving of any sympathy, reguardless of their situation.
Op literally almost fucking died and lost their friends to a mass murder but you’re worrying abt them saying cishets aren’t LGBT , and then you have the audacity to tag this as “karma bitch”????? I hope you rot
It’s not even their donation, it’s for the entire local community or something
You know, I find it weird how Mark Zuckerberg is so often used as the basis for Silicon Valley-y villains when Peter Thiel is way fucking better for that.
Like, literally, he’s talked about wanting to drain the blood of the young to restore his own youth, has numerous links to modern movements to destroy democracy and replace it with feudalism, and is a major funder of an operation to build giant floating lawless nation-states on the ocean surface like Rapture minus the bathysphere
I swear to christ I am not making a word of that up. The man is literally tailor made as an IRL supervillain, and yet we never see near enough villains in fiction based on him…
That’s probably because we have a perfectly good Peter Thiel who is based on many supervillains.
This is funny but what’s less funny is how central antisemitic caricature is in our collective understanding of what it means to be a villain. What I’m saying is that there’s a reason why Zuckerburg is the go-to template here and not any number of other, equally deserving candidates for the role.
